The halo effect

Book • 2004
The story revolves around Morgan Snow, a career sex therapist at the Butterfield Institute, who becomes entangled in a murder investigation when one of her clients, Cleo Thane, an expensive call girl, goes missing.

NYPD detective Noah Jordain seeks Morgan's advice, and as the investigation unfolds, Morgan finds herself dressing as a call girl to get close to the suspects.

The plot involves ritualistic murders, a tell-all biography, and a complex web of powerful men with motives to kill Cleo.

The novel explores themes of dual identities and the blurred lines between therapy and prostitution.
